Founded by baroque oboist Debra Nagy in 2009\, Les Délices has establish ed a reputation for their unique programs that are “thematically concise \, richly expressive\, and featuring composers few people have heard of. ” The New York Times added\, “Concerts and recordings by Les Délices are journeys of discovery.” The group’s debut CD was named one of the “Top Ten Early Music Discoveries of 2009” (NPR’s Harmonia)\, and the ir performances have been called “a beguiling experience” (Cleveland P lain Dealer)\, “astonishing” (ClevelandClassical.com)\, and “first c lass” (Early Music America Magazine).\n\nLes Délices made its New York debut before a sold-out audience at the Frick Collection in May 2010. High lights from recent seasons included performances for Music Before 1800\, B oston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum\, San Francisco Early Music Soci ety\, the Yale Collection of Musical Instruments\, and at Columbia Univers ity’s Miller Theater. In addition to touring engagements\, Les Délices presents its own annual four-concert series in Cleveland art galleries and at Plymouth Church in Shaker Heights\, OH\, where the group is Artist in Residence. Les Délices has been featured on WCPN\, WCLV and WKSU in Ohio\ , WQXR in New York\, NPR’s syndicated Harmonia and Sunday Baroque\, and had their debut CD featured as part of the Audio-guide for a special exhib it at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art (Watteau\, Music\, and Theat er). Les Délices eagerly anticipates the release of their 3rd CD\, “Age of Indulgence\,” in the fall of 2016.\n\nhttp://www.lesdelices.org/abou t/\n\n---\n\nThe vocal ensemble Blue Heron has been acclaimed by The Bosto n Globe as “one of the Boston music community’s indispensables” and hailed by Alex Ross in The New Yorker for the “expressive intensity” o f its interpretations. Combining a commitment to vivid live performance wi th the study of original source materials and historical performance pract ices\, Blue Heron ranges over a wide repertoire\, including 15th-century E nglish and Franco-Flemish polyphony\, Spanish music between 1500 and 1600\ , and neglected early 16th-century English music\, especially the unique r epertory of the Peterhouse partbooks\, copied c. 1540 for Canterbury Cathe dral. The ensemble also regularly performs earlier music\, and recently co llaborated with A Far Cry in concerts featuring Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem and Le Cantiques des Cantiques for twelve voices by Jean-Yves Daniel-Lesu r\, composed in 1952.\n\nBlue Heron’s first CD\, featuring music by Guil laume Du Fay\, was released in 2007. In 2010 the ensemble inaugurated a 5- CD series of Music from the Peterhouse Partbooks\, including many world pr emiere recordings of music by Hugh Aston\, Robert Jones\, Nicholas Ludford \, John Mason\, and Richard Pygott\; four discs have been released to date \, and the final volume will follow in 2017. Blue Heron’s recordings als o include a CD of music to accompany the book Capturing Music: The Story o f Notation by Thomas Forrest Kelly\, which was published in November 2014 by W. W. Norton. Jessie Ann Owens (University of California\, Davis) and B lue Heron have won the 2015 Noah Greenberg Award from the American Musicol ogical Society\; the prize will help fund the preparation and world premie re recording of Cipriano de Rore’s complete first book of madrigals (154 2).\n\nhttps://blueheronchoir.org/about-us/blue-heron/ GEO:41.290924;-82.219676 LOCATION:David H.
